I agree with all the people who want to keep cyber-anonymity. I would have done it too, had I thought of it when I first started using the internet.

But using just your first name causes really no issues. I really don't think ANYBODY will be able to find you by searching for "Brad" or "Jordan" or "Robin". You'd have to go through millions of pages first of Brad Pitt, Michael Jordan (and female model Jordan) and Robin Hood and Batman&Robin! Hell, you can search for Menelaos and you will still never find this specific forum!
